Question: The operating data for a ball mill is summarized; Mill dimensions ( inside liners ) = 1 . 6 m ( diameter ) by 3

The operating data for a ball mill is summarized;
Mill dimensions (inside liners)=1.6m (diameter) by 3.2m
Mill speed =25 rpm
Pulp density in mill =84% solids
Total solids exiting mill =40 tph (dry)
Solids (ore) specific gravity =2.8
Steel ball charge =43%
Density of steel ball =7.8 t/m3
Steel void space =39%
Express the mill speed as a percentage of the critical speed. (4)
Calculate the steel ball charge for such an empty mill in tonnes. (4)
Express the mill pulp density in terms of;
Liquid-Solid ratio (dilution ratio)(3)
tonnes/m3(3)
Compute the mill feed water addition if mill feed contains 1.6% moisture. (4)
Indicate the purpose of mill liners. (3)
Calculate the rate of ball addition (balls per hour) if steel balls of diameter 75mm are used and consumption rate being 1.02 kg/t of ore. (4)
